Types of Art
There are many ways that artists, musicians, and thinkers expressed themselves through, what was then, classical ideals. In some art or thought it ancient times could clearly be seen. Some of these artists were Michelangelo, Machavelli, & Rafael. Most of the work done by these men had some relations to artists before them. Michelangelo was a sculptor. He crafted many beautiful figures out of white marble. He created gods, goddesses, and Jesus Christ. Ancient Rome also used white marble to sculpt their own masterpieces. It very well could have rubbed off on Michelangelo and inspired him to use it.
